About standby mode

55If this unit or the transmitter are left powered-on in a silent state or without being operated, they enter “standby mode” to prevent the battery from running down.

55When you resume playing, or if physical vibration is applied to this unit or the transmitter, they return from standby mode after approximately two seconds.

When not using the system for an extended time

Unplug the transmitter and receiver. Standby mode does consume battery power, although only very slightly.

Even if you do not use this product for an extended period of time, you should charge it once every three months to prevent the internal lithiumion battery from degrading.
